Taking foot a little bit off the pedal

Goood morning πŸ‘‹

How has your week started?

Life has been a bit all systems go lately, which is fantastic to see; however, I can’t lie, I have been feeling a little bit exhausted with everything. With all of this in mind, I decided to take this past weekend a little slower – which is exactly what I wanted to talk about with you today.

How do we start more conversations around mental health?

Good morning πŸ‘‹

How are you doing lately?

I don’t mean superficially, but really doing?

The reason I ask is that this is what I want today’s blog to start discussing – how we can create more space for open, personalised and genuine conversations around mental health.

I’ve got a question for you today…

Good morning πŸŒ…

Hope you’re having a lovely start to the day!

I like to think of myself as someone who asks good questions – the ones that make you stop for a minute and really think before answering. I’ve been testing out some of these questions lately – whether in networking events or catch-ups with friends, and wanted to ask one to you today.

I’ve missed being a part of a team πŸ’ƒ

Gooood morning πŸ‘‹

How are you doing today?

Sometimes, in life, we forget how great it is to have people with us along certain parts of our journey. It’s along this train of thought that we’re going to take today’s blog, as we take a look at a recent story that happened to me at work.

Let me introduce you to “Memory Stuttering”

Good morning πŸ‘‹

Hope your day is off to a brilliant start!

We’ve talked a lot about stuttering on the page over the last seven years; however, today, I wanted to do something a little different…

While there are lots of different forms and experiences of stuttering, a couple of years ago I came up with my own phrase for something I’d noticed in my life: “memory stuttering.”

Now, before we go any further, this isn’t an official speech therapy term or anything like that. It’s simply the name I gave to a pattern I’d started noticing. So, let’s take a look at what this means.

What’s something that’s made you smile lately?

Good morning πŸ‘‹

I hope you’re having a fab start to the day!

Happiness is a topic that I’ve loved exploring more on the page over the last couple of years. It’s one of those areas that we can approach in so many ways, and it’s such an important one to chat about. So, with that in mind, it’s what we’re going to be looking at today.

Goood morning πŸ‘‹

We’re very quickly approaching the end of June (he says with only two days to spare). How that has happened so fast, I’ll never know.

This got me thinking the other day, and I came up with a couple of questions that I wanted to ask you today. So, let’s get cracking and see what they have in store.

Three books I’ve loved recently

Goood afternoon πŸ‘‹

I hope you’re having a lovely start to the weekend πŸ™‚

I love my books; however, I only realised a few months back that I don’t chat about them on the page as much as I probably should. So, with that in mind, a message I sent some of my cousins lately has given me the idea for today’s blog – a spotlight on some of the books I’ve been enjoying lately, and why.

Let’s have a chat…

Good morning πŸ‘‹

How’s your week started off?

When I first started Sweeney’s Blogs back in 2019, I made a promise to myself and to all of you who read the content I share here on the page: to be as open and honest as I can with my writing.

With that in mind, let’s go back to the basics and have an honest chat today.

Hope you’re having a fab start to the day!

I want to do something a little different for today’s blog – I want to take you on an adventure. I want to tell a story. The story of the Sweeney family, and a little bit about where we came from, all those years ago.

Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan

Good morning πŸ‘‹

What’s a life lesson that you’ve been reminded of recently?

I only ask that question, as it’s something that’s been on my mind lately, and I’ll tell you for why, in a little story about how things don’t always go according to plan, but how that is 100% okay. Let’s take a closer look at what I mean.

Do you fancy a cup of tea?

It’s a simple question at first glance; however, when you delve a little deeper, there’s a certain beauty and limitless potential in it. This is exactly what we’re going to be taking a look at today, as we explore how tea can create connection, encourage communication, and help people unwind.

Let’s talk about photos…

Good morning πŸ‘‹

What’s a photo you’ve got or had taken that always brings a memory to mind?

When I was thinking about what to write today’s blog on, a random idea came to mind – why not talk about photos, how I use them when writing posts and why I’ve started taking more and more of them in recent years. So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
